Jeremia 42
1 Ary ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra sy Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, sy Jazania, zanak’ i Hosaia, mbamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra, na kely na lehibe, dia nanatona
Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near.
2 ka niteny tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany hoe: Masìna ianao, aoka hoborahina eto anatrehanao ny fifonanay, ary mba ivavaho amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao re izahay, dia ireto sisa rehetra ireto (fa vitsy izahay no sisa, na dia maro aza fahiny, dia araka izao hitan’ ny masonao izao),
And said to Jeremiah the prophet, We beseech thee, let our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us to the LORD thy God, [even] for all this remnant; (for we are left [but] a few of many, as thy eyes do behold us: )
3 mba hambaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anay izay lalana mety halehanay sy izay zavatra tokony hataonay.
That the LORD thy God may show us the way in which we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
4 Dia hoy Jeremia mpaminany taminy: Efa reko izany; koa, indro, hivavaka amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ary aho araka ny teninareo; ary ny teny rehetra Izay havalin’ i Jehovah anareo dia hambarako anareo, fa tsy hisy hafeniko.
Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have heard [you]; behold, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, [that] whatever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare [it] to you; I will keep nothing back from you.
5 Dia hoy izy tamin’ i Jeremia: Jehovah no aoka ho vavolombelona marina sy mahatoky amintsika, raha tsy manao araka ny teny rehetra izay anirahan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao aminay izahay.
Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us.
6 Na ho soa, na ho ratsy, dia hohenoinay ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray, izay nanirahanay anao, mba hahasoa anay, raha mihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray izahay.
Whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.
7 Ary nony afaka hafoloana, dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah.
8 Ary izy niantso an’ i Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, sy ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra izay teo aminy mbamin’ ny olona rehetra, na kely na lehibe,
Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who [were] with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
9 ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay efa nanirahanareo ahy mba hoborahiko eo anatrehany ny fifonanareo:
And said to them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;
10 Raha mbola honina amin’ ity tany ity ihany ianareo, dia haoriko ianareo, fa tsy horavako, ary hamboleko ianareo, fa tsy hongotako, fa manenina Aho ny amin’ ny loza namelezako anareo.
If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull [you] down, and I will plant you, and not pluck [you] up: for I repent of the evil that I have done to you.
11 Aza matahotra ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona izay atahoranareo; eny, aza matahotra azy, hoy Jehovah, fa momba anareo Aho hamonjy sy hanafaka anareo amin’ ny tànany.
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD; for I [am] with you, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
12 Ary hataoko mahita famindram-po ianareo, dia hamindra fo aminareo izy ka hampody anareo ho any amin’ ny taninareo.
And I will show mercies to you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
13 Fa raha hoy kosa ianareo: Tsy honina amin’ ity tany ity izahay, ka tsy hihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo,
But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God,
14 fa manao hoe: Tsia; fa hankany amin’ ny tany Egypta izahay, fa any no tsy hahitanay ady, na handrenesanay ny feon’ ny anjomara na hahitanay mosary, ka dia any no honenanay,
Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor hunger for bread; and there will we dwell:
15 dia mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah ankehitriny ianareo izay sisa amin’ ny Joda: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah. Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Raha dia mikiry hankany Egypta ihany ianareo ka mandeha hivahiny any,
And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
16 dia hahatratra anareo any amin’ ny tany Egypta ny sabatra izay atahoranareo, ary ny mosary izay ahinareo no hanjohy anareo any amin’ ny tany Egypta, ary any no hahafaty anareo.
Then it shall come to pass, [that] the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine of which ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
17 Ary ny olona rehetra izay mikiry hankany Egypta hivahiny any dia ho fatin’ ny sabatra sy ny mosary ary ny areti-mandringana any; ary tsy hisy sisa ho afa-mandositra ny loza izay hataoko mihatra aminy.
So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
18 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Toy ny nanidinana ny fahatezerako sy ny fahavinirako tamin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema, dia toy izany no hanidinana ny fahatezerako aminareo, raha mankany Egypta ianareo; ary ho fianianana sy ho figagana sy ho fanozonana ary ho fandatsa ianareo, sady tsy hahita ity tany ity intsony.
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As my anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
19 Jehovah efa nilaza ny aminareo, ry sisa amin’ ny Joda, hoe: Aza mankany Egypta ianareo; aoka ho fantatrareo tokoa fa efa nanariko androany ianareo.
The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
20 Kanjo efa nivily ianareo ka nahavoa ny ainareo tamin’ ny nanirahanareo ahy ho amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo hanao hoe: Mba ivavaho amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika re izahay, ary izay rehetra holazain’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika dia ambarao aminay, fa hataonay.
For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me to the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare to us, and we will do [it].
21 Ary efa nambarako taminareo androany; nefa tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo ny amin’ izay zavatra nanirahany ahy ho aminareo.
And [now] I have this day declared [it] to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any [thing] for which he hath sent me to you.
22 Koa aoka ho fantatrareo marimarina fa ho fatin-tsabatra sy mosary ary areti-mandringana ianareo any amin’ ny tany izay tianareo hivahiniana.
Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go [and] to sojourn.
